At Odyssey, we take pride in our role as hosts, but none of our work would be possible without our host, the state of Minnesota. That’s why we started Odyssey Cares, an initiative that helps preserve and enrich the communities that have given us so much. Through Odyssey Cares, we can provide world-class hospitality through sustainable practices that help serve the communities surrounding our resorts. Many of the services and goods used at Odyssey are made in the surrounding areas. These locally made products give our guests an authentic experience while supporting the businesses and communities that make Minnesota a unique place.
When you stay at Odyssey Resorts, you can rest easy knowing that your stay contributes to environmental sustainability, enriches local communities, and is brought to you by a team that truly cares about you and your experience.
Not only are our resorts aligned with the UNESCO Sustainable Travel Pledge, but our team's commitment to the environment pushes our methods even further. Made up of Minnesotans, our team works to ensure that our guests experience the environment that makes us proud to call this state home. That means enacting practices that protect the surrounding areas. These sustainable practices range from company-wide policies to approaches designed to meet the environment's needs surrounding specific resorts.
Odyssey Resorts is deeply invested in the well-being and growth of the local communities where we operate. We proudly provide resources, time, and financial contributions to support community initiatives, ensuring our presence has a positive and lasting impact. Our team members are empowered to collaborate with local organizations and get involved with the community. This takes many forms, from collaboration with local businesses to creating community events like 218 Days or Sauna Days.
Our community involvement occasionally overlaps with our sustainability policy, with Odyssey leading events like highway cleanups through the Adopt-a-Highway program.
Our team's dedication to these regions, which they call home, translates into a culture that is always looking for new ways to contribute, from environmental preservation to participation in community events. Many of our tour guides are involved in environmental preservation projects and will share their enthusiasm for nature with you during any guided experience. When you check into a resort, you will likely be speaking to someone deeply involved within the community, from being part of charitable organizations to leading local Boy Scout troops.
